About

I am passionate about writing and the power of the written word (typed in this case). Making a positive impact in people’s lives is what my career is all about. I'm fascinated by various methods of communication and put my writing skills to the test every day, in the hopes of having the conversations that would otherwise go unspoken & constantly learning.

Writing for the Entertainment, Business and KZN News desks This involved plenty of reading, researching and many interviews - all of which I fully enjoyed.
